The Colors of Life

The Colors of Life
 Colors are many. Bright and subdued. Warm and cool. These are the colors of
life. I think this is in relation to the hot energetic highs and the cool lonely lows.
Life is good no matter what we must go through.

The Long Road Home

The Long Road Home
Another country landscape. I am still lovin it. I feel such a sense of
freedom. Isn't that strange. While at the workshop we painted clouds
in a way I haven't done before. I felt jubilant. I had so much fun. What I
mean is I am still having fun.

A Sunday's Drive

A Sunday's Drive
Last week I attended a week long workshop taught by Elin Pendleton

ever give myself. I learned about color. This is a painting I did after attending.

Antique Teapot

Antique Teapot
I bought this teapot when I was 18 years old because I just
fell in love with it. It has spent the last 10 years or more in a trunk.
My husband found it the other day and it felt like seeing an old friend.
This is one painting that I couldn't seem to get the colors just right so this
will have to do...

Is My Hair A Mess

Is My Hair A Mess
I bought this pineapple at a local market yesterday. I couldn't
wait to tackle it. I do like how the leaves turned out but I have to say
It did remind me of a bad hair day.

A Look In The Mirror

A Look In The Mirror
When you look closely in the mirror you see yourself. The beautiful
things that make you you. Also the flaws can be spotted. A look in
the mirror may help you to see things you wish were hidden. Sometimes it
may be sad or soul cleansing it may help us come face to face with who we are.

If I Were Red

If I Were Red
If I were red I would be a good red. Not like an angry wildfire but a
gentle flickering red like a campfire. If I were red I would be bold like the
red in our precious flag. I would run true like the red blood that runs through the veins
of the soldiers who protect us. I would be red like the sweetness of a red strawberry and
yes I would have a little heat like a red pepper which spices up the food it seasons.
If I were red I would be happy because after all red is my favorite color.

All By Myself

All By Myself
I love cherries. It is not just the way they taste but their
eye appeal. It is always a challenge to get the deep red and with the
reflected highlights and that one little speck of bright light.
I really like it when I reach the point of adding that last speck because that
means I am finished except for my initial that is.

Dragonfly Inn

Dragonfly Inn
This is named Dragonfly Inn because that is the name of the little glass
house. I bought this several years ago somewhere out west I think in Colorado.
The original has so much more depth. Is it just me or does everyone just wake up one
day and your paintings are different. Do you think so or is it just me.....?
Hope you like the bold use of color in this one.

Boo Hoo

Boo Hoo
Today I painted most of the day and then went shopping.
I found something that I really like a lot. Usually I use Golden or
Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics however at my local Hobby Lobby
I found some paint that I like a lot. It is Masters Touch brand
Grey Purple it has a peculiar smell but it thick and buttery. Love it.
I also like Liquitex Basics Titanium White. Ok that's it ... My sharing
for the day.  4x4 acrylic on canvas panel
